Boston COrDctt'S Mad Franks in the
Kansas House of Representatives.
Boston Corbett, the slayer Of John Wilkes
Booth, created sensation in the Kansas
House of Representatives few days ago.
At the commencement of the session of the
Legislature, Corbett was appointed Assistant
Doorkeeper. Tuesday he strapped on two
revolvers, and took with him box of car.
tridees Then, with drawn weapon, he
drove q negro attendant from the Hall of
Representatives. Sergelnt-at-Arms Norton
attempted to cXpostulate with him, when
Corbett cooked one of his revolN erS, and,
pointing it directly at the officer, told him to
travel. Corbett then looked for Speaker
Smith, and OH meeting member who some
what reSenlblcd him, was about to fire when
the member threw up his hands and said he
wa, not the Speaker The member was then
permitted to move on. Corbett took poSsei-
sion OF the Speakers gallery. and walking in
front of the doors, held it during the entire
morning session, refusing to allow any one to
come near him. Three policemen were
called, but they would not venture into the
dark corridor, and the slayer of Booth held
possession. At u o'clock he sent word down
to the House to adjourn or he would come
down and ad journ it himself. The House ad-
journed
Corbett was afterward captured in the
lower corridor, disarmed, and taken to the
police station. He was adjudged insane and
confined in an aylum.

A Burlington Qa.) insurance company
has awarded prize of 5000 to q Roches-
ter, N. Y, man for the best design for a
tornado cave. 1t is made underground,
connected with the dwelling by q tunnel,
and consists of room 6x12 feet, walled
with brick and the roof supported by
iron arches and beams. The strength OF
the roof is an essential part of the pro-
lection, as cyclones often level large trees
on caves, which they break in and en-
close the inmates in living tomb. An
exit flush with the surface is provided on
the outside for the escape of inmates if
the dwelling Is burned, as it frequently
is after tornado. The cost Of such a
cave varies from 5000 to $500, which, it
would seem, must place it out of reach
of those who have not money enough to
move away from locality where such
safety devices are required. At the best
a cyclone cellar gives inadequate protec-
ton, unless its owner and all his family
remain constantly at home to enjoy its
advantages.

A unique sMindlcr has been exposed iu
Springfield, Ohio. lie first had printed
elaborate letter heads reading: miami
Lumber Co., A. Barclay, Manager.
Dressed lumber, etc. Cash paid for logs
of all kinds. Springfield, o." On the
sheet he wrote letters to men here and
there generally, telling of the accidental
death of some man who had just been
hired to work for the lumber company,
and who had died before his name was
taken. On this man there was nothing
to identify him except the name and ad-
dress of the man to whom the letter was
written. Then followed list of valu-
ables belonging to the dead man, amount
ing to say 800, SO of which was in
money. The company had buried the
body at an expense of $2s, and we're
thus out SIS. If the receiver of the letter
was friend Of the dead man would he
kindly send IS, and the company would
at once send ou his valuables. It is pretty
certain that more than one man who
thought he'd be friend to such corpse
had sent on the small sum of money
asked, expecting to get $50 or SO worth
of valuables, which of course he never
received, because lumber company,
corpse, and valuables were all myths.

Another romance originating i'll the
Custer massacre is identified with the
gold watch worn by Lieutenant Critten-
den, who also perished by the vengeful
bullets or knives OF Sitting Bulls people.
The wat h was a present which his
father, General Crittenden, had pur-
chased in England some time before. 1t
became the booty of Sioux warrior,
who, in due season, after crossing the
line sold it to a Canadian ranchcr or
farmer. The purchaser, suspecting that
there must be some history connected
with it, wrote to the maker in England,
describing the watch and stating its
number. The maker wrote back that
the watch had been originally sold to
General Crittenden of the United States
Army. Thereupon the Canadian com
municated with the General, who
promptly repurchased the watch, and it
now hangs in his bedroom in New York
city, sad memorial of the fate that
befell his brave boy.

The last twelve months have been
troublous times for the personnel of vari.
Gus European governments. Mr.. Glad
stones ministry set the fashion by
resigning; the Bulgarian Cabinet fol-
lowed next after the deposal of Alexan-
der; the French ministry had q rupture
over the sub-prefecturc question, and the
Italian Cabinet resigned because Parlia-
ment did not manifest that confidence in
Its wisdom that was desirable. The
British Parliament has been dissolved
and another one re-ele ted and Germany
has been in the throes of an electoral
campaign, while it is probable that be-
fore long another appeal to the people OF
Great Britain will be made. Congress
and Cabinet are more secure under our

Thomas Kelly, who has just died at
St. Louis at the age of ninety-nlne, had
a remarkable career. lie was native OF
Limerick, Ireland, anu was apprenticed
as sailor at the age of ten. Three years
later he sailed from Liverpool for Que
bee on board the merchantmen Bercie
Croyd. Bad weather kept the vessel
eight months at sea. Provisions were
exhausted, and the crew finally drew
lots to decide which among them should
be sacrificed to support the lives of the
others. Kelly twice narrowly escaped
drawing the fatal lot. The crew was
eventually rescued by the United States
man-of-war Brooklyn Eagle. Since that
date, July 81, 1902, Kelley never tasted
meat. He continued his career as sailor
and shipped and fought under the flags
of England, France, Spain, Portugal,
and the United States. He was nine
times shipwrecked. He lost foot in
the war between the States. After the
war he went to St. Louis, where, at the
time of his death, he was coachman TO

justices except one, who objected to his

are glad to see that the long preached
doctrine of less cotton and more corn is

that this is so. The movement has been
slower than was desired by some, but it
has been steady, and this sort OF progress

Henry Flowers, fourteen-year-oldb boy OF
Jefferson Township, Ind, is one of the most
peculiar spe ,imens of humanity that has ever

Martinsville last Saturday, as is his usual
custom, and was taken to the Mansion
House of that city by two prominent ci.i ems
who Eargainel with the landlord to furnish

his abilities as an eater. They did not have
long to wait until their fondest hopes of get

He ute six pieces oflight bread, two pieces of
corn bread, two large slices Of beef, roasted
with gravy; two large Slices Of roasted pork,
four large potatoes, ono dish of beans, one
dish Of Saw, two dishes of honiny, one dish
of parsnips and two pieces of pie. After eat
ing his pie he al.el for bowl of oysters,
and was informed that they were not on the
bill OF fare for that day. He then went to

there consisted OF seven potatoes. three
slices of bread, each six by eight inches: two
